Forgive me if I go dark
///| unexpectedly
the silverback decked me
& before I knew it
I was seeing stars &
relaying my address
to the carnivorous ether[net]
I’m drawing Temperance
the Hermit and I’m seeing
an Empress grinning
devilishly, dangerous World
for Lovers, in need of a Magician
Especially now…

A woman sits across from me
dealing cash for tarot dreams
her shawl laced with owl wings &
bronze ankles swaying/dangling
flickering gold & crystalline beads
by candlelight she’s peering up underneath
two black satin fans of lashes
Then she centers her gaze on You
You’re here too?
The magic woman gnashes her teeth
She says: don’t you know
what’s always next?
High Priestess, I guess but you don’t
believe in these things I know it—-
Death, dealing the skull with a smile to show it
Funny way to say Change you spit
Laying the Devil card flat with a hit
